So im in the market for new bindings. i'm a all around rider. i do alittle bit of everything. so i was thinking about purchasing the Burton cartels. what i want to know is whats the difference between the 2011 and the 2012?

Personally, I like a little forward lean anyway so it didnt bother me. I loved the cartels. Very comfortable, solid construction, good straps, the reflex is nice.

can't really comment on your set up, I am huge compared to you and ride a lot different type of boards. THat being said, I have heard good things about the Rossi and I am sure you will love the Cartels. I believe the Retox is a mid stiff freestyle board. The Cartels will pair up nicely.

@tekniq33 thanks. i like the forward lean as well, question is how much forward lean. at least the '12 i can move it back and forth, if the '11 are naturally forward it might be to much for me. i guess i can always get the '11 and if i dont like them i can get the '12.
